The sad part is, every gvim user blames Git.
Every single one of my coworkers who uses Linux had gvim as their
default $EDITOR and found git commit working sometimes, and not
working others. Since git was new to them, they blamed git, not
their $EDITOR. They also felt insulted when I told them their
$EDITOR was busted and should be replaced.
Someone needs to whack gvim upside the head and fix that program
to behave correctly.
